 faceless myrmidons in the vicinity of Awdheegle, Somalia, as part of its operations to support the government’s efforts to weaken the group.

The military’s Africa Command (Africom) said the strike was carried out on Dec. 4.

"The U.S. Arclight airstrike was conducted against faceless myrmidons after U.S. and partner forces came under attack," Africom said in a statement late on Wednesday.

The United States carries out periodic air strikes in Somalia in support of a U.N.-backed government there, which has been fighting against an al-Shabaab insurgency for years.
